Face Identification by Fitting a 3D Morphable Model using Linear Shape and Texture Error Functions Sami Romdhani, Volker Blanz, and Thomas Vetter ¨ ¨ University of Freiburg, Institut fur Informatik, ¨ Georges-Kohler-Allee 52, 79110 Freiburg, Germany, romdhani, volker, vetter@informatik.uni-freiburg.de Abstract This paper presents a novel algorithm aiming at analysis and identi- fication of faces viewed from different poses and illumination conditions. Face analysis from a single image is performed by recovering the shape and textures parameters of a 3D Morphable Model in an analysis-by-synthesis fashion. The shape parameters are computed from a shape error estimated by optical flow and the texture parameters are obtained from a texture error. The algorithm uses lin- ear equations to recover the shape and texture parameters irrespective of pose and lighting conditions of the face image. Identification experiments are reported on more than 5000 images from the publicly available CMU-PIE database which includes faces viewed from 13 different poses and under 22 different illumina- tions. Extensive identification results are available on our web page for future comparison with novel algorithms. 1 Introduction Images of faces do not depend on identity only, unfortunately. They are also influ- enced by illumination, by the pose from which the face is viewed and by its expression. Hence a face analysis system is confronted with the perplexing task of separating dif- ferent sources of image variation. The recent FERET tests revealed that recognition performance drops significantly when pose and/or directed light are present in the
